Thanks to all for your replies so far!

Harry, I'm just a contrary old bugger I guess...I was really excited by eInk when I read about it, but the reality was less than inspiring for me. I think I've just been ruined by the fantastic screen on my 770, it's so clear and sharp.

Kacir, thanks for the Jetbook-but I'm afraid I have to agree with Harry there, its just too restricted at the moment. I love my html and fb2 files, because you get all the lovely formatting that makes a good eBook. And yes, even though they are a TFT screen, they don't seem to be backlit. Strange.

DaleDe and Shigfield, thanks for your words of recommendation for the eBookwise. It looks very interesting. A question for you, that I cant seem to track down with any good answer though...in pictures the screen looks very green. When you power the bugger up, is it white screen/black text? And whats the contrast/sharpness of the page like?

Again, thanks all! Feel free to wade in with more ideas if you have em...some one suggested the HTC Athena, man that looks niiiiiiiiice.........

EDIT: Jeebus, never mind me-DaleDe, just found your excellent review page on the eBookwise. White screen, black text. Google is my friend.
